Newspaper men are often blamed for
a lot of things they cannot help, such
as using partiality in mentioning vis
itors, giving news about some folks
and leaving others out, They simply
print the news they can find. A re-

the names and residences of your un-
cles, aunts and cousins even if he
should see them get off the train, Tell

a long and highly respected resident of

auction sale on Tuesday next, to dis-
pose of her household effects. We un-
derstand that Mr, Hooper will move

on William street to Mr. J. G. Jones,
of Winchelsea.

ful tale of sin and sorrow. On Monday

and future." His method of treating
the subject was strictly from the stand.
point of a Jew and his hearers were well
pleased. The lecture was interspersed
with. vocal solos by Bernie, the little
son of the lecturer. The child is only
10 years of age, and has a marvellous
voice, rendering the most difficult
songs with ease. He must certainly
be considered the greatest boy singer
in Canada.

The Anniversary services of the
Trivitt Memorial church were held on
Sunday last, The Rev. MeCosh, of
Chatham, preached excellent sermons
morning and evening to large con.
gregatioue. The afternoon was given
to a service for the Sunday school and
the young people of the congregation
and a much appreciated service was

Henry Willis, of Detroit, son of the
late George Willis and a former resi.
dent of Exeter, was one of the unfor-
tunates summoned by the United
States' officers to take part in the Span-
ish-American war. His immediate
relatives had received word from him
at different timer, but not so for about
four weeks, and great anxiety was ex
pressed as it was feared that some fatal
catastrophe had befallen him, until a
few days ago when word was received
that he was on his way home. It is
needless to say there was much rejoic-
ing among the home eircle. In his
letters he related many thrilling ex-
periences, and says he has suffered
mane- privations, and endured many
hardships.
The post office department has de-
cided to issue postal notes of sixteen
different denominations as given in the
following ta.ble, with the commission
payable on each amount :

These postal notes will take the
place to a large extent ef post office or-
ders in remitting small sums of money,
as they are cheaper and more conven-
ient, there being no application forms
to fill out. It will be noticed that pos
tai notes are only issued for even
amounts, but odd cents may be made
up by affixing to the face of the note
postage stamps sufficient to make the
amount required. Thus, 34 cents may
be made up by affixing four cents in
stamps to a note for 30 cents.
Trivitt Memorial Concert.
The Ladies' Chapter of the Trivitt
Memorial Church have every reason to
feel highly gratified at the success of
their entertainment on Monday night
last. Notwithstanding the other at-
tractions going on the same evening
and the extreme heat, a large number
were in attendance. The affair thro,
nghout was most unique, and particu-
larly interesting and entertaining in
its various parts on account of its orig-
inality. The tableaux were good and
called forth much applause, "Looking
backward " was probably the most
unique Dumber on the program and
was decidedly catching. The London
Harpers furnished the music and oe
the whole it was one of the best enter
tainments ever given in Exeter; The
ladies and management are to be con.
gratulated upon the brilliant success
of their efforts in preparing a concert
so worthy of the patronage of the
people,

Delinquent Subscribers.
An editor who died of starvation,
after making Dr. Tanner ashamed of
himself, was being escorted to heaven
by an angel who haa beau sent out for
that purpose,
" May I look at the other place be -
f re we ascend to eternal happieess ?'
"Easily," said the angel.
So they went below and skirmished
around, taking in the sigitts. The
angel lost sight of the editor, and went
around the place seeking him. Ile
found him sitting by the furnace
fanning laimselt and gazing with rap
ture at a lot of people in the tire.
There was a sign aver the furnace
which said " Delinquent Subscribers."
" Come " said the angel, "'C must be
going."
"You go on," said the editor, i'm
not going, this is heaven for me. "

Labor Day Sports.
The heavy downpour of rain Monday
morning blighted all prospects of carry-
ing on the races advertised to take
place here that day, consequently the
committee in charge deemed it advis
able to postpone the event till some
future time. But, as the day ad-
vanced the clouds passed away and it
soon gave promise of fine weather.
The sun shone out very strongly and
the track soon became in fair condition
and with everything favorable other-
wise and a number of horses still in
town the horsemen and committee ar-
ranged for a series of exhibition races.
At about 3.30 o'clock the band marched
to the Agricultural grounds followed by
a fair crowd of people and shortly after
four the races commenced. The 2,80
class was an exceptionally good race,
while the other two were tot quite so
eveuly contested. Following is the
